Most are unaware that monsters such as Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies once roamed the face of the earth but were banished to hell for their unspeakable acts on humanity. Now in the depths of Dante’s vision of hell, Satan holds a race once a millennium, a race unknown to man called The Showdown. Frankenstein greasers, Stitch and Merc, members of a car club called The Fivehundreds, are challenged by other hot-rodding ghouls from all walks of existence – The Hell Howlers, rockabilly werewolves with muscle cars, or The Bone Crusaders, a skeleton crew of motorcycle bandits – in this deathmatch exhibition of fantastic horror and campy grindhouse.

Who will win this fuel burning, hotrod race and get a chance to raise hell on earth once again?

REVIEWS

"It's like twisted metal, leaped into the great horror era of the 50's B cult films with the 70's punk embraced attitude, while topping it off with a nod to the great spaghetti westerns! And Holy cheese on a shmacher, is it awesome! Definitely check this book out if you're a horror fan!" – Graphic Policy, indy spotlight: Overall 9 out of 10

"Lippitt's script is solid... is true to the greaser, hot-rod era and dances like blood red pinstripes across the page! The Showdown could've easily been a midnight flick staring Peter Fonda and directed by Roger Corman!" – Slack Jaw Punks
